POSE.....Ashley
Benson, Vanessa and Selena pose on the red carpet for 'Spring Breakers' at the
Venice Film Festival.
FORMER Disney Channel
favourites Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens star alongside James Franco in the
bizarre new movie Spring Breakers, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival
on Wednesday.
A concoction of deliberately
trashy visuals and dream-like sequences, the movie directed by Harmony Korine
is bound to raise more than a few eyebrows for the pornographically-shot nudity
and lesbian frolicking of its young actresses.
The plot revolves around
four hedonistic girls who go to Florida for their spring break university
holiday—a binge of drink, drugs and flesh. Their fortunes take a turn for the
worse when they are arrested and are bailed out by Franco's creepy gold-toothed
gangster character Alien.
At this point Selena as
Faith—a name that carries weight in what at times appears a parable of an
American Dream gone wrong—leaves and the three remaining members of the gang
embark on a law-breaking spree with Alien.
The movie builds up to a
gory and garish conclusion—an inevitability that viewers are reminded of by the
sound of a gun being cocked that's repeated throughout the flick, as well as by
bloody flash-forward scenes.
The movie is one of 18 competing
for the Golden Lion prize to be announced on Saturday. It is due to go on
general release next year. (Relaxnews)
